Taking for Granted???

Change is good they say and I'm okay with it but the idea of compromising on what is right, what is natural and what is in sync with the Bible, to accommodate change scares me. The Bible is very clear on everything - yes we still term a lot of issues as "grey areas" but then, the Bible has answers to that too.

The other day I read a newspaper story about two "girls" getting married in Vizag ... If you think that was shocking, hear this - these girls first tied the knot in a temple and then exchanged Bibles in a church ... I mean, what is this? What is happening to the church in India? Are we compromising on our principles? Of course we are! This is just one example and probably an extreme one.

Lets take a moment to look into our own lives ... have we been taking God for granted? Of course we have - we've smoked on the pretext of "just trying it out" - we've watched porn on the pretext of "curiosity" - we've lied terming it "harmless" - we've deceived, terming it "being smart" ... we're proud about being called "420" and we laugh at coarse jokes, terming them to be "non-veg jokes" ...

Lets take a moment to check ourselves and see for ourselves where we stand - have we started taking God for granted? Have we compromised on our lives? on our principles and on our beliefs on the pretext of becoming broad minded? Its time we got to a check post and looked deep in to ourselves ... is our life something that we can give as an offering to God??? Its time to answer!!!
